Urgent Call for Help: Binance Executive in Distress in Nigeria
An urgent plea has been made by Richard Teng, condemning the Nigerian government for its treatment of Tigran Gambaryan, Binance’s Head of Crime Compliance, who has been detained in Nigeria for the past six months. The outcry follows a distressing video that surfaced recently, showing Gambaryan visibly struggling while being taken to a Nigerian court.
Challenging Conditions for Binance Executive
- Gambaryan arrived at the court on crutches, pleading for a wheelchair, which was denied by the authorities.
- Despite his deteriorating health condition, his requests for assistance were reportedly ignored.
- Concerns have heightened about his well-being and the urgent need for medical attention.
Richard Teng’s Call for Action
Richard Teng publicly appealed for Gambaryan to be allowed to return home for medical treatment and to be reunited with his family. The executive’s health has significantly declined during his time in detention, facing severe medical issues and inadequate care.
New Legal Challenges and Obstacles
During Gambaryan’s recent court appearance, he displayed visible signs of pain and emotional distress, further emphasizing the urgency of his situation. His legal team has filed a new bail application based on his deteriorating health and the difficulties in accessing him.
Legal Battle and Medical Concerns
- The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has opposed the bail application, disputing the severity of Gambaryan’s health condition.
- Medical records indicate an urgent need for surgery, but certain details are reportedly missing.
- An ongoing lawsuit has been filed against Nigerian authorities for violating Gambaryan’s rights and denying him adequate medical care.
Familial Concerns and International Response
Gambaryan’s family, especially his wife Yuki, has expressed grave concerns over his mistreatment and the lack of action by authorities. Yuki has urged U.S. officials to intervene more assertively, emphasizing her husband’s deteriorating health and the withholding of critical medical records.
Review of Court Order and Ongoing Support
A court order mandating the provision of a wheelchair for Gambaryan will undergo further assessment when the trial resumes. Despite this ruling, his family remains deeply worried about his well-being and the ongoing legal challenges he faces.
